Create a Django Project on Command Line

The following article explains how to Create a Django Project on Command Line.

Open your command prompt or terminal on your computer.
Navigate to the directory for creating the Django project. For example, to create the project in the “Desktop” directory, you can enter the command cd Desktop.
Enter the command django-admin startproject myproject in the command prompt, where myproject is the name you want to give your project. This will create a new directory with the same name as your project, and the necessary files and folders inside it.

django-admin startproject myproject

Navigate into the project directory by entering the command cd myproject.

cd myproject

You can then create new Django apps inside this project using the command given next. Also, myapp is the name you want to give your app.

python manage.py startapp myapp

That’s it! You have now created a new Django project named “myproject” and a new app named “myapp” inside it. You can start building your web application by editing the files in the “myapp” directory. To run the development server, use the following.

python manage.py runserver.
